Political instability can have detrimental impacts on social welfare by disrupting government services, hindering economic growth, and exacerbating existing inequalities. In unstable environments, resources are often diverted from essential social programs to address immediate crises, such as protests or conflicts. This diversion can lead to increased poverty rates, limited access to healthcare, and deteriorating educational standards for vulnerable populations. Furthermore, instability can hinder the government's ability to implement long-term developmental policies, resulting in a cycle of inequity and social unrest. Ultimately, addressing political stability is crucial for ensuring social welfare and promoting long-term development.
